About Us

Workplace Tragedy Inc. is both a support group and a campaign organisation. Most of us have lost loved ones and know first hand the deep grief and suffering caused by workplace incidents - in particular, grief caused by workplace fatalities.

We believe that our losses place us in a unique position to provide comfort and support to others who find themselves in this tragic situation.

Our Convenor is Cheryl Romer, a schoolteacher and widow of Bob Romer, who was killed at work at the age of 43 years.

Our aims are to campaign for improved OH&S and workplace laws. We believe workers and their representatives should have more rights to ensure the workplace is safe.

Our aims include:

To provide comfort and support to those persons who have been affected by a work-related tragedy;

To improve industrial safety by raising awareness of the impact of a work-related death on families;

To ease the impact of a work-related tragedy on family members, and to assist in reducing unnecessary pain and suffering by families following a work-related tragedy.

To assist persons to cope with a work-related tragedy

To educate members, and to encourage their participation in forums and with other groups regarding work-related occupational health and safety, workers compensation and work-related tragedies.

To work with, or otherwise combine with, any association, having objects similar in whole or in part to the objects of this Association.
